Design Features
Built on a tight urban site, the project also includes a new outdoor jogging track for public use that ramps up and over the main entrance as a vestibule canopy.
The project was designed for LEED Silver certification and uses both a surface and below grade storm water infiltration practices and a water previous resilient surface for the track and front plaza to improve upon the current water runoff for the site. The building combines a metal building for speed of construction and cost with a conventionally built classroom portion of the building to create a front street presence for the building.
